Thank you Mr. Chair.

I want to thank the witnesses for joining us and for their very nice presentations.

I would like to take advantage of Agropur being here to talk about its international component. We have heard from many cooperative representatives who have operated in their province and in Canada, but Agropur is active internationally. You have plants in the United States and Argentina. As a large cooperative, what has made you develop that international component?
